Vantaggi
A pro is that I do have job security, with a minimally acceptable wage. They offer health benefits, but I had better from my previous employers.
Svantaggi
In the past year I've watched 3 out of 5 of our worst employees get job promotions. In my department there is absolutely no manager presence so the managers don't really know who is tardy, who plays on their cell phones, and they don't much care. We're completely in the dark about absolutely everything that goes on. This promotes gossip because it's the only way we ever find anything out, by overhearing discussions. We've had 4 new hires the manager didn't even tell us about. We have a "big wig" coming, and they told us the day before only to tell us to keep our mouths shut about the environment we work in.
